AG-HVX200's Cool Features
True variable frame rates are what make this camera rock. Like the VariCam, which can record frame rates from 4 to 60 fps, the HVX gives shooters a wide variety of frame rates to choose from. When shooting high-definition video at 720p, it can record at 24p, 30p and 60p, but also at a staggering variety of frame rates in-between. You know what that means: superb frame-accurate film-style slow motion, which no other camera, except, of course, the VariCam, can touch.

In addition to the incredibly flexible 720p recording mode, the HVX200 becomes the first camera under $100,000 to record high-definition 1080/24p.
